Well yes, but unless you have a VE then there's no reason you'd need the 5th gen.

If you have a VG you can just get the regular ones made for a 3rd gen.

Reno....what you run in your Legend?

Unfortunately I think the answer is "I don't know anymore" It used to, but recently there's been some different designs that don't fit. To a pile of recent searching and look at the FSTB on Lordrandall's site.

Ah, is true. Well I think it's pretty confirmed that the Stealth Max one fits, no?

I don't think so.... I remember a thread not too long ago about a VE guy saying his Stealthmax bar didn't work. I think it's because they changed to the curved style brackets or something (like the ones 4th Gens use) and it hits the A/C line.

Best thing to do is look at Lordrandall's page and find a FSTB that you know will look like that. I've seen some really nice ones on eBay sometimes.

The 5th generation FSTB from Courtesy Nissan will fit the 3rd gen VE30DE Maximas. I have one in my 1993 SE right now. I had to bend the angles of the bar a bit more in order for the bar to fit and clear the intake manifold. But overall it will fit with some tweaking. Good luck.
